6 on Suicide Squad 2021 Annual reviewI swore to myself when I saw I was being hit with a double Suicide Squad week that I would save the best for last, and review issue #8 before this annual. Unfortunately, I can't do that, because someone made the decision that the annual should directly continue and expand on issue #6 so much…
Suicide Squad issue #7 is here! All of our questions for issue #6 will be answered! Who is the other Superboy? What is Waller up to? Where's Rick Flagg? Who let him out? All questions that should naturally be answered in the directly next issue, right? Right? Wrong! BUCKLE UP, BUCKAROOS, THE SUICIDE SQUAD IS…
After being blinded by some extremely charming Green Arrow/Question content last issue, I realized this time around that I forgot to ask one very important question: No really, who is Daemon Rose? We didn't see anything about that last issue. Like, seriously, the name Daemon Rose is absent for the entire thing. Not one mention. I…
Four issues in and I still can't tell how I feel about this book. In the beginning, I saw a lot of things that I liked, but there were a lot of things that made me think "well, on the other hand..." Then there started to be more and more hands, until there were just…
Okay okay okay. I need to start this review by talking about the first page of this issue because if I don't get it out right now I'm going to spend the whole review gushing about this joke. Vinnie Letterio. The Fontz. VINNIE. LETTERIO. THE FONTZ. The setup. The execution. It's perfect. It's literally perfect.…
Sugar. Spice. And everything nice. These are the ingredients that were conspicuously missing from the first 4 issues of Robbie Thompson's Suicide Squad. These past two issues seem to have accidentally added all of them, as well as a good helping of... CHEMICAL (Task Force) X Or maybe just some entertaining writing, who knows? Let's take a…
I'm going to start off my review for this last issue of Crime Syndicate the way that I started off my review of the first issue: I. LOVE. Alternate. Universes. From the second this series was announced, I knew that, no matter how the actual quality turned out, I was going to have a blast. Lucky for me,…
Almost all of my fears have been assuaged. Where Checkmate #1 was a bloated, oddly paced mess of setup and thread-hanging, the sophomore issue of this miniseries is nothing but pure character driven fun. I was absolutely worried that Bendis was going to take this new mini and use it as an outlet for more Event…
Scooby and the gang are back, and they're facing their greatest threat yet- Black Mask! They'll need some help on this one, and who better than Nightwing and Batgirl? That's right sports fans, Nightwing is here!! In a Scooby-Doo comic!! I literally could not be happier. Now, before I spend my entire article gushing about…
After a promising second issue, Future State: Gotham returns for its third foray into the dark future of, well, Gotham. Previously, Peacekeeper Red and the Next Batman had been caught in the middle of a mass breakout at Blackgate Penitentiary. Will this unlikely duo survive the night, or do the inmates of Blackgate have more…
Okay. I'm going to be honest. Suicide Squad infuriates me. I absolutely cannot understand how this book could go from a solidly mediocre beginning, to whatever last issue was, to something this GOOD. This issue is so insanely entertaining, it legitimately makes me upset that this hasn't been the whole book. All's Fair in Blood and Sport Perhaps…
Never fear, the Legion of Justice is here! Alexander Luthor has assembled a team of Earth-3's finest, and they've already set their sights on their first target: Johnny Quick! Will the Sinister Scarlet Speedster of Earth-3 outpace the heroes bearing down on him? Will the Legion of Justice take a dangerous meta-criminal off the playing…
Checkmate is back! After the events of, well, Event Leviathan, the world is dominated by Mark Shaw, head of the Leviathan terrorist group, and it's up to the world's greatest detectives (bar you-know-who and a couple others) to stop him! I really enjoyed Leviathan Rising, and even though the actual event fell apart a bit,…
It takes a special kind of book to maintain a consistent level of quality while changing writers every issue. The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries is that kind of book. This book has been nothing but Saturday morning fun, and I absolutely love it. If you have a young reader or a little one you want to get…
Before we start anything, I want to clarify and apologize for some things in my review of this series' last issue. In said review, I realize now that I made it seem like this book having black and white art negatively impacted my score of the issue. I'm sorry for that. It's not true, and,…
Suicide Squad #4 is here, and this time, Task Force X has to deal with a new threat: Red X! Will Amanda Waller reveal the secret of this mystery Titan's identity, or will Red X reveal some secrets of hers first? Let's dive in and find what awaits lurking in the depths. Spoiler alert: it's…
We're at issue #4 of Crime Syndicate, and I gotta say, this mini has earned way more of my trust than I thought it would in issue #1. What started as a fun and cheesy, if a bit generic, retelling of the origin of the Justice League has become a fascinating look at Earth-3 that…
Well. It's here. The final issue in the best mini I've read in a long time. The final issue. It's over. Unless... I'm just simply not going to read it. If I don't read it, the story never ends, and then they just have to keep making more issues to pad the gap between the…
In the not-so-distant Future State, Gotham has changed. An oppressive figure known as the Magistrate has banned all vigilantes from active duty. Of course, none of Gotham's crime fighters actually stopped, so now the Magistrate is cracking down on these criminal scum. And who better to bring in the Bat-family than the Red Hood, mercenary…
You know, if you had told me five years ago that we were getting a movie involving -- let alone STARRING -- the Justice Society, I would have laughed in your face. "No way," I'd have said, "They're too focused on the Justice League and Batman to do anything cool like that! Speaking of Batman,…
